Looking for a top-quality cat hotel near Shiyufu, Xinyi Anhe, or Yongchun Station in 2025? Fluv handpicks 3 highly rated cage-free cat hotels and 3 in-home cat sitters, with a full breakdown of accommodations, care styles, daycare and home-boarding service prices and reviews — so you can quickly find the best care solution for your furry family member.

What is a pet sitter?

A pet sitter is an animal-loving individual with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, who looks after pets in the owner’s own home. This approach is already hugely popular in Western countries — companies like Rover and PetBacker help owners find nearby, available pet sitters to come to their home. In Taiwan, Fluv offers a platform that connects pet owners with in-home pet sitters. Compared to traditional pet hotels, this matchmaking model is a more modern approach to pet care — sitters come to you, saving you drop-off and pick-up time, and letting your pet stay comfortable in a familiar environment without the stress.

Many pet owners highly recommend pet sitter services. Fluv is Taiwan’s largest pet sitter platform.

 

Which pets are a good fit for a pet sitter?

In-home care

The sitter visits the owner’s home to provide care, including feeding, tidying up the environment, playtime, and status updates to the owner. You can arrange a free meet-and-greet visit in advance so the sitter can get familiar with the home and meet your pets for the first time.

Ideal for cats who dislike going out or dogs with limited mobility. If you have multiple pets, in-home care is also a great value option that lets them stay active in their familiar surroundings.

Pet boarding and daycare

Your pet stays at the sitter’s home and receives one-on-one care, with the freedom to roam around comfortably. Services include feeding, general care, playtime, and regular updates to the owner — all cage-free and fully customized.

Best suited for sociable dogs with higher energy levels.

 

Long-term home boarding

A great alternative for owners who are away for extended periods and don’t want to leave their pet in a cage at a pet hotel. A pet sitter takes over daily care, keeping your pet’s routine intact — and can even take them out for walks while you’re gone.

Perfect for owners with long-term travel needs.

 

Dog walking service

When you’re stuck at work late or something comes up and you can’t make it home, but your dog needs to go outside — a pet sitter can step in for a walk. Even when you’re not around, a professional sitter can take your pup out for some fresh air and a good run.

Best for medium to large, higher-energy breeds like Huskies, mixed breeds, Border Collies, Golden Retrievers, and similar dogs.

Free meet-and-greet visit

We offer a complimentary meet-and-greet service. Before booking, you can arrange a free home visit to meet your sitter, see the care environment, and let them bond with your pet. Once everyone’s comfortable, simply go ahead and make your official booking.

 

For every service, your pet sitter will send you photo updates so you can see your furry friend even when you’re away — reassuring and heartwarming!

Pet sitter FAQ

 

1. How does the sitter get into your home when you’re not there?

Through an advance home visit, the sitter can come over early to meet your pet for the first time, get familiar with the care environment, and note the locations of food bowls, litter boxes, and cleaning supplies — all while getting to know your pet’s personality.

During the visit, you and the sitter can work out how to hand over a key. Many owners arrange this through their building’s front desk or concierge.

 

2. How are pet sitters vetted? Can I trust a stranger?

All pet sitters on Fluv are animal lovers with hands-on experience raising pets or volunteering with animals. They go through identity verification and training before becoming a certified sitter. You can also check each sitter’s ratings and reviews through Fluv’s review system to find someone you feel confident about.

 

3. Who is responsible if my pet gets injured?

Every booking includes insurance coverage. If an accident occurs during care, the pet sitter is responsible for compensation, with a self-pay deductible of NT$3,000. For costs exceeding the deductible, Cathay Century Insurance provides additional veterinary coverage of up to NT$15,000.

 

4. My pet is shy around strangers — is a pet sitter still a good option?

If your pet is on the shy or slow-to-warm-up side, an advance home visit is a great way to let them meet the sitter for the first time in a safe, familiar setting and start building trust. If you still have concerns, you and the sitter can discuss together whether this type of care is the right fit.

If your pet tends to be aggressive, pet sitter services may not be suitable — both for the sitter’s safety and to prevent your pet from becoming overly stressed or reactive, which could lead to accidents.

 

5. My pet needs medication or wound care — can a pet sitter help?

For any special needs, look for a pet sitter whose profile lists medical care skills. You can also discuss the specifics when making your booking and clearly communicate all medical care instructions to the sitter in advance.
